the Firm page 18 by ric gustafson

After all the hoopla at the firm over his passing of the bar exam, Mitch quietly entered the deli. It was a quiet place with few customers and greasy chili dogs.

Mitch was reading a prospectus. He did not notice the stranger who had walked in. The stranger sat down opposite Mitch.

" Are you McDeere?".

" Yes". Mitch frowned. " Who are you?".

" Special Agent Wayne Tarrance". He grinned. " FBI".

" What can I do for the FBI?".

" I heard you are the new man at Bendini Lambert and Locke?".

Mitch sighed. " Why should that interest the FBI?".

" I came here to warn you about the firm".

Mitch stared at the FBI agent. " I'm listening".

" First, don't trust anyone". " Number 2, everything you say is likely being recorded". Tarrance handed Mitch a card. " Here's my card". 

" Ok".

" Use it only from a pay phone". He smiled as he stood up. He walked toward the front door. " Remember Mitch, they are listening".
